Lol no
What drove technology forward for hundreds of years was trial and error, not some faggy queerboy with a math degree you cunt
>>7970761
Historical facts would say the contrary but whatever.
If you are here with an engineers vs the world thread then the last thing you care about are facts.

Lol wut?
Maybe in the late 19th and 20th century.
You think that siege engineers knew basic projectile motion to use trebuchets?
Heck, most trebuchet builders today build and test their designs and then creat rules of thumb to follow

except im able to get a job as a researcher by applying my insight in areas i enjoy studying. you have to do what people tell you. i don't have anyone above me except friends who are curious about the status of my papers. there's no pressure at all. you can only think about a degree as a way to make money because you came from below the poverty line, afraid of going back to it. that's just irrational fear. any pursuit of interests can lead to a comfortable lifestyle while not pertaining to any china-tier logic that you must be a useful worker bee. although you might be asian so that might explain your philistine way of thinking.

Challenger and Columbia will confirm that.
man i always feel bad about engineers. you're pushed on about deadlines like fucking crazy, all for a project you might not even like. the money is good but the hours and workload are insane. i'd rather get paid 10k less than an engineer and enjoy my life.

dat irony.
>>7970871
Not an engineer or that guy, but what are you on about. I thought engineers have a relatively lax workload in analogy to the money they get paid compared to other jobs.
>>7970844
Will you shut the fuck up with the "nobody but engineering majors makes any money" routine?

You just all sound like fucking 18 year olds giving a constant stream of terrible career advice, in addition to the fact that this is in fact not the /money/ board.
>>7970880
engineers have a lot of job mobility, but in no way is their job lax. anyone that tells you that is full of fucking horseshit. it's one of the most stressful jobs out there.
>>7970883
he has a point. engineers get paid but so do physicists and mathematicians. it's not just "you're either an engineer or you're unemployed", otherwise who would actually end up developing the toolset engineers use? other engineers? yes, after they learn a shitload of math and physics as a minor or double major, thereby circumventing this whole dispute.

>mfw wanted to do engineering but gpa wasn't competitive enough so I'm studying pure maths instead.
Mathematicians are cool, but being an engineer is easy to make as a better argument (in my opinion) just because it's immediately tangible as to what they do.
Either way, these discipline wars on /sci/ are stupid.

Repeated exposure. Once you've seen enough traps you get good at identifying them. I couldn't tell you how to, but I can spot a 2d trap a mile off.

I'm gonna need a sauce on that, friendo.
Strictly for research purposes, of course.

You haven't worked a day in the academia in your life and it shows buddy, there's no place more cut-throat than the academia, it's not comfy and it's absolutely not "without pressure" wtf are you on about?
